Chores, without the nagging. Every family runs on a hundred small jobs — beds made, dishes cleared, bins out, homework started. HouseHeld keeps track of all of it, so you don't have to. You set the chores. Your kids see what's theirs to do. They tick things off, earn points, and trade those points for rewards you've chosen yourself — screen time, a trip to the park, whatever works in your house. How it works Add your children to your household, each with their own profile. Assign chores — pick from a built-in list or write your own. Set which ones repeat, and when. Your kids open the app and see exactly what's expected of them today. When a job's done, they mark it complete. You can ask for a photo as proof for the ones that need it. Approve it, and the points land in their balance. You decide what those points are worth. Set up rewards at whatever price makes sense, and your kids can save up and redeem them when they're ready. Built for families • Separate profiles for every family member, with their own chores and points • A built-in library of common chores, or add your own • Repeating chores — daily, weekly, or on the days you choose • Photo proof for the jobs where it helps • Points, levels, streaks and badges to keep kids interested • Rewards you define, at prices you set • Optional allowance tracking alongside points • Parent-only settings behind a PIN, so nothing gets changed without you • Notifications when chores are due, completed, or waiting on your approval For everyone in the house, run by parents HouseHeld is used by the whole household — parents and children together — so there are no ads, no chat, no social feeds, and no way for anyone outside your household to see anything. Everything that happens in the app stays inside your family. Parents hold the controls. Subscription settings, household setup and account details all sit behind a parent PIN. Subscription HouseHeld costs $1 for your first week, then $7.99 per month or $39.99 per year. Your subscription renews automatically until you cancel — in the app under Manage Subscription, or wherever you started it. The $1 first-week charge is non-refundable.
